Keyboard Operations
The description of keystroke functions and operations initiated from the keyboard
in this section applies to display stations attached to 88-key, 102-key, 104-key, or
122-key keyboards. If symbols are different from keyboard to keyboard, all are
illustrated in the text. The symbols for each function can be found on the keyboard
attached to your display station. Remember that legends that appear on the key
face are Alt functions and legends that appear on the key top can be shifted or
nonshifted functions as illustrated in Figure 3-1 on Page 3-3.
